Busy busy
Yesterday was a surprisingly busy work day given the tasks C listed out were move a tarp and get the seed trailer ready. In the end we: harvested lettuce seed, organized all the seed that we'd harvested and cleaned over the past two years, loaded the seed trailer, move the tarp much farther than expected and switched vehicles.
I also packed before I left and grabbed groceries on the way home. Had a minor meltdown at home, my parents had both been texting me separately about stuff that could wait, giving the impression they needed an answer in the middle of the work stuff, plus grocery store plus I called a number I had been given specifically to book an appointment, called and the person said their office calls people once they have the referral and absolutely refused to make an appointment. This was after wed, when I called, the person said the person who made appointments was out and would call me back and she called me back during the only time I had a meeting I couldn't step away from and she left me a message to call the third number. I might try again this afternoon but I was pretty upset.
Got over it though, deep breathing and then loaded the truck and hit the road. Got to my parents in good time and talked through the things that had come up. Went to bed on time.
This morning has been an assortment of things, going over staffing, going over painting a wagon, figuring out a push to talk app for the phones that works well (Zello is what we're going with I think). Then I cleaned out the combine so it could be put away for storage. Very fun. I worked with the air compressor and a shop vac and did my best. Got very gross but its way cleaner now which is awesome.
I'm debating whether to make a run with my dad to look at a corn binder tomorrow but I think I'm going to stay home and work with mom on her stuff. The corn binder is for making corn stalk bundles because our workers are very slow at making them but they're really in demand. Mom admitted today that handing things over to me should make them go faster simply because I'm much faster at computers and the new system is automating a lot of things. I've been wondering lately what technology I might be bad at later in life because I haven't been doing it for so long.
Currently obsessed with wheelchair rugby and watching all the matches at the Paralympics. The speed! The precision of movement and turning! The strategy! Extremely fun and the rules are way more understandable than running rugby.
Ate my first 2024 apple for lunch today, a Zestar. Pretty tasty. Mom also ran out and got me a gluten free pizza and some kind of gluten free dessert from the grocery store because I lamented my lack of options last weekend. She's sweet.
